Surviving An Affair
Willard Harley & Jennifer Harley Chalmers
This book gives so much insight into the “why” behind affairs, giving specifics into unmet needs in the marriage and how affairs can so easily develop. It also has quite a bit of information as to what to expect emotionally after an affair, how to begin to meet each other’s needs again, and contains many stories of couples that have been through all different kinds of affairs. Satan is the author of isolation and when you’re entangled in any sin he does such an incredible job of making you feel so alone, as if you’re the only one who has struggled with that sin, so the stories in this book are pertinent in bringing those lies to light to begin the healing process.
Anatomy of An Affair
David Carder
This book is beneficial to couples wanting to be proactive in preventing affairs or for those seeking recovery from an affair. It allows the couple to talk through many specifics that play into affairs such as high risk family of origin, high risk seasons in marriage, and more. He discusses how these factors don’t make affairs inevitable but could make the environment conducive to an affair and stressed communication as a key preventative method. There are quite a bit of interactive activities for couples to discuss and gain even further insight into each other and their marriage. Each chapter concludes with a very real, transparent story of what another couple has gone through.
